Always had sleeping problems, could it possibly be because of witnessing emotional abuse?

[Anonymous]

I've always had troubles falling asleep, it takes between an hour- 4 hours before I fall asleep. Once I'm asleep I don't easily wake up. But not so long ago I sort of found out I've been witnessing emotional and psychological abuse since the moment I was born and have been undergoing it myself when I was a teenager. Could my sleep problems be related to the abuse I saw, I have wondered for a while now...

Everyone's been through their own things and has their own issues. The difference is it affects everyone differently.
Not being able to switch off and relax when you're trying to sleep I assume is your problem?
Try basic things like making sure your room is dark, etc etc and relaxing

You probably will be best off talking to someone and dealing with your feelings

I've tried all sorts of methods and tricks. Only when I drink (alcohol) I fall asleep fast, but that's not really a solution lol

Maybe, could also be physiological though.
